Construction-Related Testing Services

Hospital and Healthcare facility managers, Environmental Consultants, and Construction teams all have great responsibility when one of their facilities is undergoing construction/renovation. Unlike typical building projects, healthcare related facilities can rarely shut down during construction activities, therefore patient needs – including protection from infectious agents and exposure to other environmental toxins associated with the disturbance of construction materials, is a top priority in keeping patients safe.

The contaminants from construction related activities can enter patient areas and other sensitive areas in multiple ways – ventilation systems, failed containments, open doors and windows, or tracked in on the boots and clothing of workers. The effects vary depending on multiple factors – a little dust in a lobby may be harmless, but fungal spores in an operating suite or other sensitive areas may pose serious consequences.

Since 1981, EMSL Analytical, Inc. has been providing environmental testing solutions to support Hospitals and Healthcare Facilities during construction activities by the testing of air, water and bulk building materials associated with the renovation, remodeling, repairs and demolition.
